It's really strange that there is nothing official between Lewis and Mercedes yet.

 

[DG_Silva]

Alesi turned down Williams.

There's an element of truth in that, but it's not the complete story. Alesi got concerned about the amount of time it was taking Williams to confirm the contract, and Ferrari came sniffing. It took long enough for Jean to ask Ferrari's lawyers for a way out of it. They did and Alesi joined the Scuderia at just the wrong time.

Reports are that he will sign "soon". Given that "soon" coincides with the start of the season this am not rocket surgery to predict.

Seems Kaz got in his head when they met. "Soon, Lewis. Just tell them soon".

This idiot i swear to god...

 

[PeterJB]

I'm sure he'll miss that £274.

 

[Famine]

The red light was asking for it though, shining its light provocatively through his windscreen. It's just an anti-Russia conspiracy anyway.

 

[Jimlaad43]

That's 3 points more than he'll score for Haas this season

 

[MaxAttack]

Are we ignoring the fact that red lights barely get any likes on social media anyway so the majority actually agree with what Mazepin did here? It's about engagement.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah but Green lights only get more likes because they're the son of the visible light spectrum, or something similar...

 

[Touring Mars]

Another example of Mazepin not knowing when to stop...

 

[Jimlaad43]

Why would he stop for a red light? He's always Russian around

 

[Sabertooth]

Can you imagine the amount of jumpstarts this is gonna cause?

1 Light!

2 Lights!

3 Lights!

There goes Mazepin!

4 Lights!

5 Lights!

And he's plowed into the back of Ricciardo. Double DNF to begin the first GP of the year!

FTFY. You're giving the Haas far too much credit if you think it'll be up there with the McLarens...

 

[Sabertooth]

FTFY. You're giving the Haas far too much credit if you think it'll be up there with the McLarens...

With the speed of that HAAS and the Ferrari engine, I doubt he’ll reach the McLarens even with the jump start

When it rains it pours for Mazepin, although this time it isn't his fault.

He can't race under the Russian flag, and neither can anyone in the lower formulae too from Russia thanks to an Anti-Doping ruling against the nation.

He can use the colours but not "an image of the flag", I imagine he'll be looking to stretch that rule just because. Here's the RAF release over Mazepin, that's the Russian Automobile Federation before anyone gets too excited.

Which anthem would they play in the astonishing event of him winning? I suppose Star Spangled Banner isn't getting much use, and it's a nice tune.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Russian anthem? Here's my proposals

Given some of his past deeds in the lower ranks. This flag might be suitable for him to race under.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Blurred Lines.

Works on so many levels.

I hadn't thought about this 'til now... but won't it also affect the playing of the anthem at the start of the event?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Well that joke aged well...

You know what's the funniest thing? YOU PAY FOR WATCHING MAZEPIN VIA TV LICENSE
If you guys want to boycott him, try to start doing something more productive than writing angry comments

No, I don't. Haven't had one in over 7 years.

GTP won't host your disgusting attitude and comments towards survivors of sexual assault, no matter how many accounts you make.
